The Biggest Bankroll Challenge - From 0 to $1,000,000

Good day today. As every sunday should be!

Profit: $65.84

You can late reg SNGs?

They are multi-table on demand. So yes, I can.

Lost 2 heads-up in a row, plus a 5th and one in YaPoker (don't remember if it was 3rd or 4th).

Current bank is $99.77 (started at 22.60)

Made a big mistake yesterday at one final table. I shoved on SB K7o with 14bb. Already ITM. And good in chipEV but there were shorter stacks and BB was chip leader. I shoulda limped. Oh well...

Just had a short session of 3 hours. Bricked everything and only 2 min-cashes.

Studying: I already know by heart the open push ranges with 15bb. Today I finish the 5bb. Tomorrow I rest (not studying, but grinding). And the day after tomorrow I start to study re-stealing ranges.

Profit is +$93.37

Do you donk?

I didn't use to play much before this challenge. Now I've been playing many days in a row. So today I'm resting. Just a little bit of studying.

I like your energy. Go for it!

Thanks mate!

So I started with the re-stealing ranges. Going from general to specific.
General rules...

• 1. Pocket pairs --> we can 3bet shove ALL of them Button vs Hi-Jack for 25bb
  
• 2. Can re-steal ALL suited Ax SBvBU for 25bb. And 20bb vs Cut-Off
  
• 3. Some hands that I considered marginal but we're actually very aggressive. Like AQo (MP vs UTG for 25bb). Then I studied also other "marginal" like 77, etc.
  
• 4. And also other general rules...
  

I will go more in depth for positions like Button vs Cut-Off and Small Blind vs Button. We're very aggro on these spots.

no I don't donk there with Q9. board hits his range pretty well, theoretically he has a lot of suited high card-low card hands like Q7s, K6s etc.. Although he shows A3s wich is always a shove preflop imo so his ranges are a wildcard. Without any backdoor equity and just two random overcards, I play passive

Yeah you're right. Looking at it now I don't like it one bit.

Didn't find many games this afternoon. I think I only played 10 SNG. Lost all of them.

I can't wait to start shooting $1 games (in Stars) and $1.65 (YaPoker) alongside the $0.50 buy-ins. That way I can put in much more volume.

Studying re-stealing ranges found out some hands that are way stronger than I originally thought. Some examples: MPvUTG we 3bet shove KQs for 20bb, KJs for 15bb and we 3bet/cal TT for 30bb. Didn´t regard Tens as that powerful but apparently they are. And many things more.

Obviously this in parctice. But in microstakes fishes put there wekear hands on limpin' range and stronger on OR. So maybe in principly I gotta re-steal tighter.

Although wehn a super tight player (12/10) limps in early position with 8-10 bigs is usually AA.

Apparently now I can't cash out from WPN. Can anybody help me?

I want to cash-out my money from YaPoker. But this happens...

I don't see the option of Skrill. That's the one that I used to deposit in the 1st time.

Does anyone know how I can contact them?

Great session today! Bank is now $113.52

Made a super nitty fold here...

Right on the bubble. Didn't want to face Ax. I just followed my gut. Come to think of it, my gut usually says "fold". Oh well...

Studying a lot. Not playing much. I'm gonna try to study all week. Then a lot of grinding in the weekend.

Unless that was a satellite, that fold cannot be good

Yeah you're probably right.

Doubts with this one...

I thought "I beat other 2 pairs". Also I thought that usually I err on the tight passive side so a lot of times I fold when I should call.

Been running like **** on the final tables. Haven't made a heads-up in a while. Bank is $109.44
